Hattingley Valley Classic Reserve Brut NV

"50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 19% Pinot Meunier, 1% Pinot Gris. 10% barrel fermented. This is a really, really pretty nose – all fresh orchard fruit and spring blossom. Open and feminine and lacy, tasting of spring and morning sunshine. Bit of spice, just giving it a tiny bit of kick. Real dance and trilling energy. This is incredibly drinkable! Delightfully English, owning its identity and not remotely a champagne wannabe. What a joy. Russet apples and lily of the valley." - Tamlyn Currin (jancisrobinson.com, February, 2019)

"Powerful, acid-driven sparkling of scintillating drinking and charisma. Scents of faint toast, ripe and dried apples, ginger, roasted almonds. The palate is blistering in its pace, ultra-refreshing, has some toasty-oxidative characters and brisk, ripe and dried apple flavours. Hold onto your hats!" - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front, April, 2019)
